The most likely problem is that you don't actually have a UTF-8 font family
called "fixed" that the Tk/Tcl font selector code can find. I've looked at that
code several times, and freely admit that the combination of Tk/Tcl code and
fontconfig makes me run away in screaming horror. ;)

(After MIME handling, font handling is probably the secomd most broken thing
in the entire exmh source tree)
